Hi guys. I have recently bought a 2002 MC privately. It has done 64k. I had it 2 weeks and noticed a vibrating noise when in gear, the noise goes but not completely when clutch in. I have taken it 2 local garages and BMW dealer. BMW have told me i need a new gearbox which will cost £2000. I'm not being funny but the car is 5 years old!!! I know people who have had cars (from Fords to BMWs) more than double that age and and with loads more miles and havent even had such a major problem. BMW told me that it could last forever or 2mins like it is but will just be noisy.

I really am not a happy bunny as i love my little motor.

Has anyone contacted the bigwigs at Mini or had any feedback regarding this or similar issues?

Please, someone give me some good news.

Ta all
